Fried Chicken Cutlet “Tacos” with Creamy Pasta Filling

Fried Chicken Cutlet “Tacos” with Creamy Pasta Filling

Ingredients:

• For the Chicken Cutlets:
  • 2 large chicken breasts, butterflied and pounded thin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crunch)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Oil for frying
• For the Creamy Pasta:
  • 8 oz fettuccine or linguine
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Cutlets:
   • Season the pounded chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
   • Place the flour in one shallow dish, the beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in a third.
   • Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
   • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
2. Prepare the Creamy Pasta:
   • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
   • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
   • Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
   • Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
3. Assemble the “Tacos”:
   • Fold each fried chicken cutlet gently to form a “taco shell.”
   • Fill each chicken cutlet “taco” with a generous portion of the creamy pasta.
4. Serve:
   • Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately while the chicken is crispy and the pasta is hot.
